Seeking their daughter’s return from the hands of YPG/PKK terror group, another family joined Wednesday an ongoing sit-in protest of families in southeastern Turkey.
"The [terror] organization forcibly kidnapped my daughter," Ciftci said, adding that a group had came to the village and admitted to have had kidnapped her.
Noting that she cannot hear from her child for the last two years, Ciftci said she wants to reunite with her.
"I want my daughter back. I don’t know where she is now. I’m so worried about her," she said.
She stressed that she would not give up protesting without taking her child back, and said, calling on her daughter: "Come back, surrender to the government. I miss you so much."
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and EU -- has been responsible for deaths of 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants. The YPG is the PKK’s Syrian offshoot.
